Bloodmaze is a four piece death metal outfit hailing from Hyderabad. Comprised of four members with different influences and valuable experience, it’s music tries to bring out melody from a maze of groove.

The bands music and lyrics are based on personal issues that are seen in common society and yet which inspite of the intense personal impact still stands ignored. The music in itself is fast and groovy with the twist of technicality to add to the overall aura. As a genre, the band tries to create for itself a niche genre, by combining the elements of groovy death metal, melodic death metal and technical death metal with a touch of influence from grindcore as well. Currently the band is working on its debut album comprising of songs like Bloodmaze, Mind bender, Comatose and Destitute.
